Which is, ofc, why Elump and the right are going after higher education in the US, and also why education is always a target for conservatives in general

Good job everyone!

Most likely explanation is that the militia wing of the President's supporters, whom the President praised and pardoned for previous attacks on democracy, harassed citizens seeking to express dissent. This is the story of many authoritarian states - is it the American story now?

All conversations ended in 2008. NATO membership for Ukraine was never on the table and the Russians knew it. In winter 2022, Putin repeatedly ignored attempts by the west to reassure him Ukr isn’t getting in. Mearsheimer’s name will live in infamy for eternity for coming up w this bs.

As relevant today as the day I took it three years ago…

Progressives in #Ontario It is critical to #VOTE Bring ID Bring your friends! You don’t need a Voting Card Sat Feb 22: Advance Voting Until Feb 26th: Vote at local Election Office Feb 27: Vote at designated polling location #ONpoli #CanadaSky #onelxn www.elections.on.ca/en/voting-in...

🎶❤️🎸

what would a foreign adversary do differently as part of a coordinated attack

When even your friends think you're doing a bad job. OREA (Ontario Realtors... something) has long been a major supporter of the PCs. This is what they think of Doug's housing plan. #UniteTheVote and chip Ford down to a minority. NotOneSeat.ca #onelxn #onpoli

"[W]hat is happening is an attempt to destroy all the pipelines for Black influence and advancement at the federal level, the corporate level, and at the academic level, so that a Black leader will never rise to rule white people ever again, whether it's in the workplace or the White House." 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿

An awful of “waving” going on in USA atm that coincidentally looks like Nazi salutes.. Elon Musk started the trend, Creepy Calvin Robinson copied (and got fired) now Steve Bannon.. others emboldened will follow suit❗️ Nazis claimed they were just waving after losing WW2 as losers remorse kicked in🤷🏼‍♂️

I don’t understand what people don’t understand about this.

coming out of the Four Nations tournament, we get a Hellebuyck/Binnington rematch today.

They can *ask*, but really, the only replies are gonna be along the lines of “Fuck Trump. Fuck Elon. Fuck Bannon. Fuck Vance. In Canada, every single day is a good day to punch a Nazi.”

If, for whatever reason, you do not have your Ontario voter card, here’s what you can do to help #VoteFordOut

Find out what's happening in ontario schools from the perspective of education workers in 20 minutes Also I do the interview.

This alone should be grounds for terminating Ontario’s contract with Starlink immediately.

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

I’m voting this afternoon. 🗳️ If you’re an Ontario resident, you too can do your part to reduce Ford’s majority. Skip next Thursday’s lines, and go straight to an advance polling office!

Hmmm

How symbolic

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

I’m begging the media to call Nazi salutes … “Nazi salutes.” You can write “he gave a Nazi salute.” That’s the proper journalism. Describe things as they are even if people get mad.

Incredible public service. @propublica.org has catalogued the DOGE crew and their links to Elon. projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do...

Standing up to the authoritarian wave requires more than cheerleading for democracy; it demands making democratic societies more participatory, responsive, and adaptable at all levels, from local to national, in response to the societal shifts driven by the Internet over the past 15 years.

We finally have an actual 1A question about social media and I’m wondering where the Twitter Files dupes are?

Advance polls are OPEN in Ontario starting today You don’t need a voter card if you didn’t receive one yet Bring ID and get out there vote

10000% please vote and remind everyone you know to vote

not kidding this may actually escalate a trade war

LOL old man Tkachuk looks like his Jan 6 pardon got overturned

Guess we’ll find out what hotel room the Tkachuks stayed in tomorrow

Now back to regular, boring hockey and insurgency/IED instructional videos. *sigh*

TV interviewer to Sidney Crosby: "What did you do to get yourself healthy for this tournament?" My kid, seeing the ads all game long: "Tylenol!"

Mood: #4nations

Ok but why did Sanheim think that was a good idea

Ok if you’re tense from this hockey game (or even if you’re not) you need to watch this

Hopefully overtime ends before the NHL regular season resumes in 37.5 hours.

Oh good, overtime. I was hoping my blood pressure would stay at 335/170

Had to reach for my emotional support beer
